Only two ranked teams in the B1G. Ouch....

Sagarin rankings for our opponents:
93__Western Michigan
11__@Arizona State
233_Charleston Southern
40__Louisiana Tech
29__Penn State
28__@Wisconsin
15__@Michigan
BYE
84__Indiana
17__@Ohio State
71__Minnesota
64__Purdue
45__@Northwestern

FWIW, we have played 5 of our top 6 opponents and have three of our weakest five opponents left to play at home (IU, PU and Minny). It would do Beckman a mountain of good if he could get the team pulled together over the bye week and find a way to squeeze out another victory or two. This is a great time for a bye week and a softer schedule.

I certainly am not predicting a victory, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

Not ONE big team in the BCS standings. Not even an over-rated Michigan team could get in with their week 0 vote as #1.

Do they relegate entire conferences?

The Big Ten just isn't what it used to be in football.
